New userboxes

Could someone create a "This users favourite character is Albus Dumbledore" userbox? We have one of those for Snape, but we only have a "fan of Albus Dumbledore" one for him. --Parodist 22:51, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Could someone also create a "This user is an editor on the Spanish harrypotter.wikia" or something like that?? Please! :) Steffy13 19:42, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I was just HERE FOR THAT. Could you create s userbox saying "This user was saddened by the Death of Dobby" and one saying "This user's patronus is a Komodo Dragon". TurboGolf 05:55, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Colour userbox example

Until just now, the second example of the "user colour" infobox was:

green

This user's favourite colour is green.

This to my mind was a poor example, as in HTML markup "green" is defined as 0;128;0 (probably due to full green or "lime", definition 0;255;0, being excessively bright on the old CRT monitors) and thus has a gamma of only 76; colours of gamma 127 or less contrast best with white, not black. Hence I've changed this example to orange (gamma 175). — RobertATfm (talk) 01:39, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

Why not roll your own? It isn't difficult; userboxes are just small templates. If you're not sure what to do, you can always use the source of an existing userbox as the basis for your own; that's what I did. The only difficult part might be finding appropriate images to use. — RobertATfm (talk) 23:57, February 7, 2013 (UTC)

The "Sirius Black as our fave character" one has already been created ({{User Sirius Black}}), but I don't know that much about Doctor Who and also don't have an image for that one, so I don't want to take any risks with it. --Hunnie Bunn (Owl me!) 00:03, February 8, 2013 (UTC)

New userbox (proposed first of series)

I have just created {{User Book1aE}}, which is basically the Book1a UBX but with the ebook cover:

Does anyone agree that this is a good idea? I can create the other six as well. (No point in creating UBXes for the e-editions of the library books or of Tales of Beedle the Bard, as the ebook covers are the same as the paper ones.) — RobertATfm (talk) 14:28, May 8, 2015 (UTC)
